two way sync over SFTP sees files on right but then says its empty

[IMTheNachoMan]

I have a two way sync set up between `desk` and `serve`. When I am in the profile, it shows me that it CAN see the files/folders in `serve`. When I run the profile in preview mode, it says there is nothing in `serve` and is going to copy everything from the left. I'm not sure what is wrong.

I took some screenshots and put them up on https://imgur.com/a/ansRpny.

In most cases, you should be using library 1 (SFTP) and not 2 (SCP).

SCP is not a standardized protocol, it's obsolete and rarely tested.

Can you try SFTP?

[IMTheNachoMan]

Same thing.

I think you need to make sure that you specify an absolute path. Otherwise, Syncovery will look relative to your home directory.

So, prepend the folder path with a slash on the Internet Protocol Settings dialog.

Oh my gosh. I don't know how I didn't realize/think that. That fixed it. Thank you!
